The Royal Academy of Dance is one of the world’s most influential dance education and training organisations and seeks to accomplish its mission through promoting dance, educating and training students and teachers and providing examinations to reward achievement in 83 countries all over the world.

The RAD Training department’s programme of activities runs across the UK, as well as internationally, engaging with local communities, RAD teaching members and dance schools– to widen participation and access to dance. If your child is a complete beginner or an experienced dancer, and whether he/she wants to dance for fun or is working towards a career in dance, we have something for everyone. All RAD Registered Teachers are CRB checked.

The RAD offers an internationally recognised portfolio of Examinations which is designed for students of all ages and levels of ability. Students as young as two and a half may start dancing with the Pre-School Dance Curriculum, with the opportunity to move through Graded levels or Vocational Graded levels.

In our commitment to higher education, we created the Faculty of Education in 1999, dedicated to meeting the needs of our current and future dance teachers by providing education programmes and qualifications.

Royal Academy of Dance Enterprises Ltd is authorised by Royal Academy of Dance to sell products and goods using the Academy's logo and brand name.

Jigsaw was established in 1995 with a desire to pass on the joy of performing arts. The belief in the benefits of performing arts activities for children was the driving force in the creation of Jigsaw and the reason why Jigsaw has continued to grow and become a well-established high quality provider of children’s classes. Jigsaw has a team of dedicated and enthusiastic professionals who are committed to delivering fun and exciting dance, drama and singing classes.

Every student can benefit, in some way, from the performing arts. While some join us to build a firm foundation for a professional performance career, others do so to unlock their hidden talents, overcome their shyness or increase their confidence and social skills. However, what all students enjoy is having fun through drama, singing and dance classes, while making lots of new friends. Children ages 3-6 years attend a 90-minute session divided into three sections of dance, drama and singing. Students aged 7-18 years attend a three-hour session comprising of an hour of drama, an hour of singing and an hour of dance, each with a specialist tutor. To establish an environment that builds confidence, regardless of individual ability, students are divided into appropriate age bands. All students will be challenged to their full potential.

If you’ve not been involved in anything like the performing arts before, we offer a two-week trial to all new students, so come along and see for yourself! Fees for a whole term at Jigsaw are: 3-6 years £152 per term, 7-18 years £284 per term. Sibling discounts apply and you can pay online, over the telephone or via our direct debit scheme.

Jigsaw currently runs classes throughout London, the home counties, and Cardiff. Visit www.jigsaw-arts.co.uk to find your nearest school, or give us a call on 020 8447 4530. Jigsaw also offers holiday workshops and birthday parties as well as running an in-house agency.

Children are more sophisticated than they used to be. It can be difficult to find fun youth or school arts activities. It is also hard to find party or event activities children love doing! Are you looking for more unusual fun, exiting and different kinds of arts and entertainment activities for your school, youth club or kid’s party? If you are, you have, you are in luck! Nugent Education specialise in providing arts and entertainment activities children (from the ages of just 4 – 18 years) really enjoy.

They work with schools for school arts activities and youth clubs and children’s organisations. Also, for parents who need kids party activities and council events and so on.

These popular arts workshops and activities are available in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, London, and Derby and across England and North Wales. Artists travel to your home, school, centre or venue to deliver these fun and popular party or event activities.

If you need a party activity, our professional artists can make your party go fantastically well with activities that children enjoy for an hour or two. This will remove the stress off you in terms of engaging the children for an hour or two! If you are a school, activities can engage, educate and facilitate learning.

For small children we offer activities like kids’ crafts puppet making, face painting, mask making, lantern making and dance. We also offer mascots you can take pictures with such as iggle piggle from in the night garden and the minions. Children’s faces beam with excitement as they see these popular characters walk in. Other children’s activities include Japanese origami and African drumming (great fun).

For older children and teenagers’ urban arts are very popular. This can include DJ skills AND popular graffiti art. Also, rapping and human beat boxing (our most POPULAR WORKSHOP) and urban dance. Nugent Education can also provide makeup and beauty and free running.

We offer graffiti art activities like graffiti art on a baseball cap. As well as this, we can provide graffiti or painted murals for children’s bedrooms or play areas or spray something the child gets to keep whilst at the party or event. Kids love it. This is really popular as they get to keep a cap or be left with a permanent reminder of the day with a mural.

Our DBS checked artists and entertainers will travel to your home or venue (booked room etc) to deliver these activities. These fun arts activities are great value for money and usually last 1, 1½ or 2hrs. They are competitively priced from only £100.00 plus travel (variable), so why not give Nugent Education a try??
